Charles hunted down these photos of jeeps and medics.

Here’s a great photo.
“1943 Press Photo Pvt. Robert Coba named his Jeep “Bull of the Woods”.”
This jeep appears to have an interesting carrier on the rear, but it’s hard to tole much from the photo.
“Tired US Armored Division Soldiers Rest in France”
I’ve never seen an original version of this press photo from February 6, 1941. Great photo! The use of the term “Might Midget” rather than jeep or blitz buggy is notable.
“This is an original press photo. Dept- US Army Service Corps, Credit – ACME & NEAPhoto measures 9 x 7inches. Photo is dated 02-6-1941.”
Buz found this photo from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He writes, “This is Poe Motor Company a Plymouth/Desoto dealer, the building still stands, maybe one day I can get a photo of my CJ3A in front of it, I believe the building is now a restaurant.” The Poe Motor Company name is painted across the windshield.
Here’s a fantastic photo from Crissy Field near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. It sure looks way different now! I found the photo at this military mashup site, which has a good collection of jeep prototype photos.

Marc found this great photo. Lots of jeeps and lots of families!
“1944 Press Photo Indiantown Gap Pennsylvania Governors & Families Loaded Jeeps”
This driver is sitting on his parka. I suspect either his butt is cold or it’s sore.
Marc found this photo that shows Mt. Vesuvius in the background.
“1943- Mount Vesuvius towers in background as U.S. troops stop for a meal in the famed ruins of Pompeii.”
